Company Description
Scottish Agronomy is a farmer-owned co-operative and Scotland’s leading independent agronomy and arable research organization. The company provides impartial agronomy advice to farmer and trade associate members, supported by the most extensive arable trials program in Scotland. Trials cover key aspects of crop production, including varieties, fungicide programs, seed rates and treatments, fertilisers, herbicides, and growth regulators for both combinable crops and potatoes. Insights from these trials are delivered directly to subscribers through a highly qualified, experienced agronomy team, helping members make evidence-based decisions. This focus on independent research and practical advice creates a collaborative environment for agronomists who want to contribute to progressive, data-driven farming.
Role Description
This is a full-time, on-site Agronomist role based in the Greater Edinburgh Area. The Agronomist will provide independent, field-based agronomy advice to farmer and trade associate members, including regular farm visits, crop inspections, and tailored recommendations. Day-to-day activities include assessing crop health, identifying pests, diseases, and nutrient issues, and advising on appropriate crop protection, fertiliser regimes, and cultivation practices. The role involves contributing to and interpreting research trials, collecting field data, and translating trial results into practical guidance for members. The Agronomist will prepare clear written reports, participate in member meetings and events, and collaborate with the wider agronomy team to share best practice and maintain high standards of service.
